The engine died while driving down the street and I couldn't start it after that.hwburke - 1993 Honda Accord - Engine - 2/23/2013I think it is the fuel pump. How do you change a fuel pump?
-
2/23/2013 HouseCallAutoFirst check and see if there is ignition spark. Fuel pumps do fail on Accords but not nearly as often as the distributor. The car was recalled for replacement of the distributor in Dec '95 and the recall may still be honored at a Honda dealer, that is unless it was done once by them years ago. How you tell is by looking at the VIN that is inscribed on the firewall. If there is a punch mark just above the 4th character of the VIN, then the distributor was already replaced.

2/21/2013 JasonHave you checked the coolant level?
2/21/2013 txsweetheart1014Yes
2/21/2013 JasonI assume the coolant is full. Need to pull trouble codes, check radiator fan operation and thermostat.

Oil changed now car wont start. Sounds like a belt and the engine tries to start.keroropata - 2001 Honda Civic - Engine - 2/18/2013I looked under the car when using the jack and there is a little metal ring covered with sealant. It looks crushed and it's right by the front left jack spot behind the front left tire. What is this called? After I replaced the oil and lowered the car, I go to start ...

2/18/2013 HouseCallAutoA couple days later says that what you did was unrelated.
2/18/2013 keroropataYea, but there was nothing else done to it...

2/18/2013 HouseCallAutoYou have to treat this no start condition for what it is. Your jacking the car up or changing the oil did not make it happen. Plug in a code reader and see what fault codes are stored.
2/22/2013 keroropataOk, yea it looks just like coincidence. Thank you for your help, I'm currently working on it

Why won't my car start?kiara - 1990 Honda Accord - Engine - 2/18/2013I noticed multiple factors that led me to this confusion: 1. Lights and radio cuts on automatically like it would normally do. 2. I tried to get a jump and my battery is fine and produces a spark by itself. 3. I bought a new starter mid- last year.-
2/18/2013 HouseCallAutoJust so that we are clear, you are saying that your starter is not functioning when you turn the key to crank, right? That being said, you did not say if this was an automatic or a manual trans. If manual trans, check the clutch pedal switch. It could have a bad ignition switch or a bad starter relay.

2/16/2013 HouseCallAutoIt sounds like a bad starter motor. Have someone try tapping on the starter motor with a suitable tool while you try to start the engine. I bet ya it starts up. That would confirm a bad starter.

2/16/2013 JimmWhy is the alternator ruled out? What is the alternator voltage and current output? Check the battery terminal and cable connections as first step; should be clean and tight.
Once the car is started; battery jump-start or whatever means - take the car to the local auto parts store for a full charging system check / test - including the alternator output and performance.

My car jerks when I'm on the freeway. When I accelerate.adam3 - 2006 Honda Accord - Engine - 2/15/2013Sometimes when I let off the gas on the freeway.-
2/15/2013 JimmFirst step - have the check engine light or stored fault codes scanned - for free - at any local auto parts store; Advance Auto, Auto Zone, NAPA. Then, post a reply as 'add answer' with the specific fault code for more assistance.
Possible Causes of Engine Hesitation or Stumble:
Dirty fuel injectors (cleaning the injectors often fixes this)
Dirty air filter (change filter)
Dirty / clogged fuel filter (change filter)
Bad MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
Bad TPS (throttle position) sensor
Bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol)
Sometimes, what feels like a hesitation is actually ignition misfire rather than lean misfire. The causes of ignition misfire may include:
Dirty or worn spark plugs
Bad plug wires
Weak ignition coil
Wet plug wires

2/15/2013 JasonCould be an alternator problem, but more information is needed.
2/15/2013 farlhaving a problem with my vehicle
battery lite flashed once while driving on the highway accelerating and then my engine light came on car started to idle and run terribly I noticed that my tachometer wasn't working my temperature gauge wasn't working and the green immobilizer key was flashing on the dash
I turn the car off for a few minutes figured to clear the problem however when I start it up my tachometer still wasn't working temperature gauge wasn't working and the green key was flashing on the dashboard everything else worked and had power
I drove the car in gear d2 because it was easier to drive that way since Gears didn't seem to be changing well
I have done a lot a reading on this and noticed most people talk about the alternator possible causing problem and a fried ecu
I did bring the car to a mechanic who tested the alternator and the battery which seems to be fine however we hooked up the computer to find out what code was there and there was no communication with

2/13/2013 jndindamThis video does not pass across any information. However, why don't you have you engine checked. The engine is a very important part of an auto machine and it should function at all times. http://4wheelonline.com/.../...ycle_Tires.169578
